War doesn't decide who is right, just shows who is left.

Gettysburg is also one of the most haunted places in the world. 👻💀👀

Bex6942, actually I think Gettysburg had the most casualties over 3 days but Antietam was the bloodiest single day.

Sistien50, advice from our 16th President "Sometimes it is better to remain silent and appear a fool than to speak and remove no doubt"

Luanna3353, so sad. if we dont learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. history is history, not to be re written torn down, or ignored.

PEPPER 520, I have lived minutes away from the Chickumaga battlefield my whole life and it is also the most screwed up paranormal hotspots I've ever seen soliders walking down the "downtown" area I have no doubt Gettysburg is extremely haunted bit no one has ever investigated Chickumaga and they seriously need to check out green eyes and all the other stuff

Does this total also include civilian casualties? There was 1 women killed in Gettysburg, and the bullet holes are still in her home. I used to give tours there. Great place to go for visit, or move to.

It saddens me to know that to most people these casualties will only ever be viewed as numbers and nothing more. They were many men who died doing what they in their hearts felt was right and believed that God was on their side. War just breaks my heart period.

Princess_Kitten, ...What breaks my heart 💙 and it sounds cold but is true, more people have been killed in the name of God (what ever that is to you, world over) than any other cause. What hurts my Vietnam ❤️, is the arm-chair warriors told us 😢 20 something year olds, the only way we know you're winning are body counts.!. However my Delta Force Company B tried to limit our kills to limited hills and hoped to win some of that limited ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 Peace...

sleepy Mama llama, we use to visit Civil War battle fields but i always end up crying so don't anymore. Such a sad waste of human life.

DPC, It started over not wanting to give our bank power back to Britain! Slavery was added the last year. I would like to think slavery was added for good reasons. And on the long run, it was. BUT for what I know about the US and my own Native heritage, I just doubt it. I think it was more about getting more bodies to fight on the Union side. That's what my grandpa always said that his dad said, and his dad said, etc. and I'm inclined to believe it. They still don't care. We are all equally cash cows now. Why is it you think we need a social security # for anyway?

Player #11146724, are you suggesting that "undesirable" people should be enlisted for eugenics purposes? Not only is that disgusting, but it is impractical. How can you expect a war to go well when a majority of the soldiers are disabled or unfit to fight in some way shape or form?

God-is-AMAZING!, to be fair A1 S2 of our constitution, as written, explicitly defines certain people as a fraction of a human being. You’re thinking of the much more aspirational Declaration Of Independence. But thank you for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you 😂😂😂

My dad took me to Gettysburg when I was 9 yrs old and the whole town felt eerie to me, but was one of my favorite trips with my dad.

Sistien50, Civil War still most Americans In its first 100 years of existence, over 683,000 Americans lost their lives, with the Civil War accounting for 623,026 of that total (91.2%). Comparatively, in the next 100 years, a further 626,000 Americans died through two World Wars and several more regional conflicts (World War 2 representing 65% of that total). Using this comparison, the Civil War becomes the costliest war that America has ever fought.
